The weekend kicks off Friday evening with our favorite kind of gathering: good company, starry skies, and s'mores around the fire. Join us at the covered fire pit to settle in, meet fellow guests, and soak up the magic of the forest before the big day ahead. We'll have all the fixings for the perfect s'more plus a little something extra to get the party started. Come as you are, grab a stick, and get ready for a weekend to remember.

At the heart of the forest, tucked beneath a canopy of towering pines in a private meadow, we'll say "I do." Expect the unexpected. The one tradition you can count on: vows spoken straight from the heart, out loud, to each other. Beyond that, come ready for quirkiness, fur babies, and a few surprises. Dress for the weather, and bring your sense of wonder.
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
We picked this weekend for a reason. With one of the longest days of the year on our side, the sun won't set until nearly 9pm, so we're taking advantage and hosting dinner in the open air. As the golden hour light filters through the trees and ambient lighting sets the mood, we'll sit down together for a farm-to-table feast that celebrates the best of the region. As the sun dips below the horizon, it will be time for dessert (and not just any dessert). We've enlisted the legendary Blackbird Bakery for our wedding cake, which will be ceremoniously and enthusiastically smashed into each other's faces. You've been warned. Then we move the party indoors, where the real fun begins. The dance floor opens up for a night of good old-fashioned dancing. But first, clear the floor for a very "special" first dance from the happy couple. After that, all bets are off.

As many of you know, Colin and I are typically fast asleep by 11pm on a good night, so the fact that we're planning an after party is an anomaly. For those still standing, we want to honor your dedication and savor every last moment of the day together. We'll keep the party going with a low-key after hours hang. Think fireplace, games, and the kind of meandering late-night conversations that only happen when you've had a few too many. Just good people and vibes.
10:00 am - 11:00 am
Before you head back to the real world, join us one last time for a relaxed farewell brunch inside IslandWood's beautiful lodge. Load up a plate, pour a final cup of coffee, and linger. It's our chance to thank each and every one of you for making the trip and sharing this weekend with us. We'll swap favorite moments, say our goodbyes, and leave with full hearts and stomachs.
